Broadcasting in mobile ad hoc networks is performed using various techniques like blind flooding, counter based broadcast, probabilistic broadcast etc. Among these flooding is the most primitive, where every node forwards the broadcast message whenever it gets the message for the first time. However, duplicate copies of the same broadcast message are always eliminated. In spite of simplicity of the mechanism, it results in highly redundant retransmission, contention and collision in the network. This is popularly termed as broadcast storm problem. Probabilistic broadcast method reduces the broadcast probability from 1 to some fraction close to 0.5. Certain probabilistic scheme use fixed probability while some others take into account network size, total number of nodes etc. The proposed article fuzzy controlled probabilistic broadcast or FPR computes rebroadcast probability of a node based on various factors line distance of downlink neighbours of current node from broadcast source, left, right, top, bottom coordinators of nodes already covered, hop count etc. Simulation results reveal that the proposed protocol improves network throughput, saves a lot of rebroadcast while reducing end-to-end delay.

FPR：移动自组网中的模糊控制概率重播

移动自组织网络中的广播是使用各种技术执行的，例如盲注泛洪，基于计数器的广播，概率广播等。其中，泛洪是最原始的，每个节点在第一次收到消息时都会转发广播消息。但是，始终消除同一广播消息的重复副本。尽管该机制很简单，但仍导致网络中的高度冗余重传，争用和冲突。这通常被称为广播风暴问题。概率广播方法将广播概率从1降低到接近0.5的某个比例。某些概率方案使用固定概率，而另一些概率方案则考虑网络大小，节点总数等。
